These Apartment-Friendly KitchenAid Artisan Mini Stand Mixers Are on Sale

When the KitchenAid Artisan Mini came out a couple of years ago, bakers with small kitchens and limited pantry storage space rejoiced. This 3.5-quart stand mixer has all the style and power as the bigger models you’ve probably seen on friends’ wedding registries or in Ina Garten’s kitchen, but, as writer Erica Murphy noted in her ode to this baker’s best friend, the Artisan Mini is 25 percent lighter and 50 percent smaller than those. And today, it’s also up to 43 percent off the list price at Walmart, depending on which color you pick. All of the models are just $229. That’s a 30 percent discount on more standard colors like matte white, matte black, and Empire Red. But even colors that are generally priced at $400 — including royal Twilight Blue, millennial-pink-dupe Guava Glaze, and cheery Orange Sorbet — have been discounted to $229, a 43 percent discount.
